Great upgrade. WGG with black wheels on a C7Z gets me weak in the knees. Such a nice looking ride!

I've never been much of a Dodge fan - their cars are cool, powerful, etc, but just never really appealed to me. For the money, I think the driver gets SO much more with the Vette. Congrats on such a beautiful car!

You made a wise choice. Just look at the two cars in those pics. Don't get me wrong the Hellcat is cool for what it is, but when you put it next to a Z06 like that there is no comparison.

Congrats on the new Z. I came from a Charger Hellcat and haven't looked back. The Hellcat was a fun car but I found the quality to be subpar in a number of areas. I did love the power, exhaust note, trans and blower whine.

The Z is like wearing Iron Man's suit, it just seems to do it all...except carry more than 2 people.

Enjoy it!

The Hellcat was a great car with lots of power but it was just to heavy.The Z06 on the other hand makes u feel like ur part of the car,great power ,lite and can corner.

Currently considering moving from a Hellcat to my first Vette...good to hear from some former Hellcat owners who are glad they made the switch.

Not true, I've had three people in the Z. I'm told the trunk is extremely comfortable and plenty of room for a fourth
